I went to visit my cousin yesterday, and their 9 year old son was playing with these awesome toys called Magformers. 
Bascially what they are is magnetized shapes that can be linked together to form buildings, cars, you name it. He was having a blast. I know I usually spend more time talking IT stuff, but this is so cool and my cousin’s kid was having so much fun, I just had to share it.
This year for the holidays, my wife got me one large present instead of a bunch of little presents. She got me a Dynex 22″ flatscreen TV with a built in DVD player for the bedroom. Don’t ask me why, but I have an easier time falling asleep when there’s a DVD playing in the background. She also got a mounting kit for the wall facing our bed. I do have to say I was a little nervous mounting the TV since working with drill and making holes in walls usually doesn’t end well for me, but everything fell perfectly into place. The TV is on the wall and we’ve used it every night since.
Thanks for the great gift, babe!
Even though this is a little late, I do hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday weekend. My wife and I spent the day with her side of the family, and both my wife’s mom and aunt got charging stations for their iPhone. And what made it funnier was that it was a present each gave the other. We laughed about the for a few minutes. Well, onto New Year’s, and be safe while ringing in the new year.
This is what I need. Some genius compiled a list of tech items that would make great Christmas gifts. And the best part? Each item is under $200. Now, I don’t know about you, but that makes a world of difference for me. And the one thing I’m looking at most? The Wireless Battery Charging Pad The greates thing about this is that you don’t need to plug in your wireless device, just place it on this mat. I love that!
Well, in a progress report from yesterday, I started looking at womens and mens jewelry for gift ideas for my wife. I tried bringing it up casually by asking her what size her wedding ring is. As if that wasn’t a big enough tip off, I then asked if she likes the necklace I got her for our anniversary or the gold bracelet she inherited from her mother. She said she likes both with a playful smile on her face. I think she’s on to me. Maybe there’s some jewelry that can stream movies.
I’ve been getting asked by my wife, “What do you want for Christmas this year?” alot lately. She’s seems really intent on finding the perfect gift, but I’m a typical guy. My interests are mainly technology and gadgets, but as we all know those tend to be expensive. She’s looking for something a little more intimate, and I think she’s hinting at what she wants too. She’s a typical female in that if it doesn’t sparkle, she’s not interested. So, I’m thinking of getting us matching rings or bracelets this year to make her happy. I know of some orange county jewelry stores that offer really good looking stuff for reasonable prices, but I’d like to see what other ideas you might have.
